yep ours too.

Our programming team consists of myself and one other guy who know how to program in c as well as work with the hardware on the RC. Technically, there are 12 of us from freshmen to seniors who all help us two get stuff done. Their jobs range from helping all the other subgroups, looking over my shoulder to learn how to program, and making sure I remember all the semicolons and /r/n statements at the end of each printf (so you don't have to recompile just because the readout in IFI loader is legible). We have that this system works well, as last year I was one of the kids who looked over the shoulder of our last programmer. I learned alot from him by asking questions, observing, and doing the grunt work like diagnosing what caused the CMUcam to stop functioning properly.

We have a programming team, but I am the only one that is not on anotherr team. We had around 5 others that tried to help, but they dont know very much about it. I started teaching them in the beginning, but then things got busy and they were needed elsewhere and I had to work faster without explaining what I do. We have 3 programming mentors. 1 comes on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and the other comes on Thursday. If you have more than 1 programming mentor, it really does help having them come on different days because then it is more days that you can ask someone questions. Our last mentor is my programming teacher at school, but he doesnt know exactly what we need to do to tell the robot to move, however he does know syntax very well and has helped me catch many of my errors.

Five students and two mentors. We really try to suck programmers in. They're useful (and the funniest).

So the number of team that have more than one person on them is about 50-50.

we have 1 junior and a mentor. we need help. lol. they are really good but there's not enough of them.

[SL8]

BTW, if there's any way I can help , just PM me.

We currently have 3 programmers and 2 mentors (only one is really active this year)
one is a senior, so I'm trying to learn everything I can for next year. The other is a sophomore, like me, but is new this year.

830 has a team for electrical/pneumatics/programming but only one kid does most of the programming.

We started out this build season with 8 programmers and no mentors, now we are down to 5. Next year we lose them all, 4 due to graduation and one is changing high schools.

(FYI 694, you guys are getting a new programmer next year.)

Go find ya"ll a freshman.

One programmer, who is also Box Operator. Two programming mentors, one our faculty adviser (who is awesome) and the other a parent who also mentors (even more awesome). We also don't actually have mechanical, electrical, pneumatics or CAD teams, since the Point Person system seems to invariably fail by halfway through the Build Season every year. Our entire Robotics team does all of the above, in varying proportions. Although I think we actually had a group of people who did the entire animation off-campus (on Woodside's campus, thank you Team 100).

1625 had one major programmer/electrician this year with the very eager aid of another student and a couple of mentors who are engineers in the field.
